Causes of kidney stones

The reasons why dogs suffer from kidney stones are very complicated and are mainly related to the dog’s diet, amount of exercise, genetics, etc. Dogs whose diet is too simple, whose diet is unreasonable, who drinks too little water, who lacks exercise, or who have metabolic genetic defects, reduced liver function, or stimulation of chronic inflammation may all cause their dogs to suffer from kidney stones. Purebred dogs are more likely to develop kidney stones than mixed breed dogs.

Symptoms of kidney stones

If your dog suffers from kidney stones, his urinary system will have some abnormal symptoms. For example, frequent urination, oliguria, polyuria, pain during urination, blood in urine, etc. However, the presence of these symptoms does not necessarily mean kidney stones, and the diagnosis usually must be confirmed by taking X-rays.
